I need software that can calculate volumes of revolutions, the only requirement is that it runs on any of the following:
* Linux (i386)
* Mac OS X
* Windows XP (i386)

Like calculate the volume when tan x is rotated around the y-axis with upper boundaries 0.2 and lower boundraries 0.1.

If you have access to Matlab then thats what I would choose

If your looking for some free software then check these out:

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/
http://scilabsoft.inria.fr/
http://yacas.sourceforge.net/

They should pretty much work similar to matlab.
